This year's Ramadan drama race witnessed an intense and remarkable return of a constellation of Arab drama stars, who illuminated the experiences of a number of dramas in the holy month, dedicating a presence after many years of absence and withdrawal from the scene for reasons, ranging between personal choices and force majeure circumstances governed by the requirements of production on the one hand, and the successive bets of producers on the new stars on the other hand.

At a time when it does not seem that the decline of opportunities and space that the art scene today is dedicated to "adults" in a way that fulfills their destiny and their journey full of successes, from the wave of widespread public celebrations achieved by the surprise of seeing them establish a space for a series of Ramadan works this season, leaving a deep impact on the hearts of their fans and followers, and dedicating real artistic value to their makers.

Strong return

The beginning was with the artist Tariq Al-Nahri, who has been absent from the silver screen for a while, after experiencing his last unique guest appearance in the series "Taqa Nour" in 2017, as the artist took the initiative to renew the era of appearance strongly this time, Ramadan this year, presenting the character of "Hamada" in the series "Jaafar Al-Omda" alongside the star Muhammad Ramadan and the stars accompanying him. On the other hand, the artist also recorded in the new drama season, another distinguished participation in the series «Hit a fire» through the character of «Mr. John» arms dealer, culminating in another in the series «Canto Market» alongside the stars Amir Karara and May Ezzedine.

The retired Egyptian actress Suhair Al-Morshedy returned again to the arena of art and acting, after a recent participation in the series "Taya" in 2018 to complete her unique painting in the series "Hitting Fire" with both the star Ahmed Al-Awadi and Yasmine Abdulaziz, where she presented, under the management of director Mustafa Fikri, and within the atmosphere of the famous Egyptian Upper Egypt environment, the role of the mother of the protagonist of the work, "Jaber Al-Komanda".

Miscellaneous Participations

Despite the limited spaces that are unique to the new dramas of the stars of the previous generation on the experiences of secondary roles and fleeting looks far from the lights of the absolute heroism to which they are accustomed, but the matter seemed different for most of them this year, after the Egyptian artistic scene this year witnessed the surprise of the return of the artist Ashraf Abdel Ghafour to the audience of the silver screen, after an absence of more than two years, which the star was excited about, expressing to the Egyptian press his happiness to present the character of the fugitive prisoner «Farouk» in The series «Rashid», accompanied by his daughter Reham Abdel Ghafour and Mohamed Mamdouh, and then his brief and short appearance in one episode of the series «Al-Ajhar» with Amr Saad, Dora and Sayed Ragab under the management of director Yasser Sami.

For her part, the absent Egyptian star Samah Anwar did not lag behind the intensive artistic "return convoy" for "adults" and full of exceptional artistic surprises this year, as she overlooked the Ramadan audience, in the series "The Box", to present some of the most beautiful characters of the educated and conscious mother with a high social and moral sense who is keen to help the women of her community and raise her son perfectly.

As for the star Sherine, who did not completely withdraw from the media and television platforms, we saw her this year wearing a new character's coat, different from the rest of the roles of honor that she played during the past years, as the audience followed her in the series «Change Joe» with her daughter star Menna Shalabi and Iyad Nasri, in the role of the mother «Samia» stubborn and difficult, residing in a psychiatric clinic, as a result of suffering addiction to tranquilizers.

Rediscovery

It seems that the phenomenon of the absence or withdrawal of a number of the most prominent stars of the artistic scene from participating in various artistic works, is not limited to the «adult generation» only, as it began to include the experiences of the stars of the current generation as well, despite his clear public success in a constellation of famous film and television works, but the Egyptian actor Ahmed Eid, for example, did not address the absolute starring role for nearly six years, after his last cinematic work in 2018, which is the film «Khalawis», up to His sudden return this year, with director Mando Al-Adl, not only in "A Rare Coin", but also in "A Rare Role" far from the "comedy heroics" that he has been distinguished by presenting over the past years, embodying the character of "Masoud Abdul-Jabbar", who spilled his brother's blood and described him with a cold heart to get his land.
